60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: SXTP) has entered into a research agreement with Tulane University to study tafenoquine's effectiveness against Borrelia (Lyme disease) and Bartonella bacteria in cell culture. These pathogens, along with Babesia, are known as the "3Bs" commonly found in tick-borne illnesses.
The study aims to evaluate tafenoquine, an FDA-approved antimalarial drug marketed as ARAKODA®, for potential treatment of co-infections in babesiosis patients. Currently, tafenoquine is undergoing babesiosis trials at several sites. The drug's safety for malaria prophylaxis has been validated through six randomized, controlled trials lasting up to 12 months, though it remains unapproved for treating babesiosis, Borrelia, or Bartonella infections.

The market assessment is based on comprehensive research including a 6,000-patient nationwide survey and feedback from 300 healthcare professionals. The company estimates a total addressable market of 380,000 patients annually.

60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: SXTP) announced plans to submit a Minor Use Minor Species (MUMS) designation request to the FDA for tafenoquine to treat acute canine babesiosis in 2025. The submission will be supported by three clinical efficacy studies that evaluated ARAKODA® (tafenoquine) for canine babesiosis, including one company-sponsored study at North Carolina State University.
The studies demonstrated that tafenoquine was well-tolerated and effective in treating both experimental and naturally acquired Babesia infections in dogs. This development is significant as there are currently no FDA-approved oral treatments for canine babesiosis, an emerging tick-borne illness that affects hundreds to thousands of dogs annually in the United States.
60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: SXTP) has reported its Q1 2025 financial results, showing mixed performance. The company's net product revenues increased 55% year-over-year to $163.6 thousand, primarily driven by domestic sales of ARAKODA®. Gross profit saw significant growth of 124%, reaching $90.3 thousand compared to $40.2 thousand in Q1 2024.
However, operating expenses rose to $2.09 million from $1.41 million in the previous year, with $535.4 thousand attributed to increased sales, investor-related services, and stock-based compensation. The company reported a net loss of $2.01 million ($1.56 per share) in Q1 2025, compared to a net income of $308.7 thousand ($1.83 per share) in Q1 2024, largely due to a $1.74 million change in fair value of derivative liabilities.
60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: SXTP) reveals groundbreaking survey results suggesting babesiosis disease burden in the US is significantly higher than CDC estimates. The survey, conducted among 6,000 US adults, found that 1.26% of respondents (equivalent to ~3 million people) reported receiving a babesiosis diagnosis in their lifetime, compared to CDC's 1,834 reported cases in 2020.
The study indicates that approximately 17% of babesiosis patients experienced illness lasting six months or more, suggesting around 570,000 US adults have faced chronic disease. Additionally, 3.7% of respondents (~9.9 million Americans) reported experiencing chronic fatigue lasting longer than six months, with 56% of these individuals having received a formal Chronic Fatigue Syndrome diagnosis.
This significant disparity between survey findings and CDC statistics suggests babesiosis may be substantially underdiagnosed or underreported, potentially indicating a larger market for effective treatments.
